Additionally, Dr. Illes has been named the coordinator for
physician services for all three "Legends" tournaments to be held
in Florida in 2013. She has had many years of experience treating
golfers as a chiropractic physician. "I worked and lived in Niagara
Falls, Ontario, which has over 20 golf clubs in one city! I am a
Titleist Performance Institute Certified Instructor, have worked
with a variety of players, and have volunteered at many local
tournaments," she says. "This is my first PGA experience."

Dr. Illes has an
extensive background with athletes from other sports as well,
having worked with the Toronto Blue Jays, the Toronto Maple Leafs,
and several Olympic athletes. She shares her sports medicine
expertise with her DC students at National University's Florida
campus.
